West Indies Shrimp
You can cook and peel the shrimp early in the day, then cover and chill. You can also make the marinade in the morning, but don't combine the two components until about 45 minutes to one hour before you expect your guests to arrive.
Yield: 18 servings (serving size: about 2 shrimp)
Ingredients
- 12 cups water
- 2 pounds unpeeled medium shrimp
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 2/3 cup cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add shrimp and seasoning; cook 3 minutes or until done. Drain and cool completely. Place shrimp in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add remaining ingredients; seal and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally. Remove shrimp from bag, reserving marinade. Peel shrimp; place in a large bowl. Add reserved marinade; toss gently to coat.

OK, I didn't even make this myself, but my friend just brought it over. Amazing! A great make-ahead appetizer. And if my friend reads this... THANK YOU!05/25/09

Absolutely addictive! When I saw the recipe, it looked so simple that I couldn't imagine how it could possibly be anything special. I took it to a family dinner, though, and it got raves -- we couldn't stay away from it. You get great results for very little effort. Like the previous reviewer, I cheated and used already peeled, deveined shrimp, so it couldn't have been easier to make.04/01/07
